Raven Talks His Mental Issues on Latest Vince Russo Podcast

July 29, 2016 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

– Raven and Jasmin St. Clair were the guests on the latest episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can hear the podcast here; some highlights are below:

St. Clair on her Howard Stern appearances where she claimed to set a record for sex acts in a day: “At that time, I had no f—ing idea what I was doing. During my formative years, I was attending Columbia University where I graduated. I got busted for insider trading which is what nobody knows. When you’re a convicted felon – that’s just one of the felonies, by the way–it’s hard to get work in a real place. The guy I was dating for five years was emotionally abusive and I had very low self esteem. I was working in a strip club because that mother f–ker was going in there all the time, and from ages 19 to 23 1/2 I was with this man. So don’t forget we’re dealing with the dregs of society. These f–k faces at a strip club and him. So I wanted to make money doing something. I just didn’t feel like I had the attention from the one person I wanted, but most of all it was my f–k you to society.”

Raven on why he wasn’t able to get more work with his level of intelligence: “Because I have narcissistic personality disorder, I have histrionic personality disorder, I have borderline personality disorder, I’ve been diagnosed, I have a lot of emotional, mental issues. It stems from me not being abused as a child, but being neglected as a child. That was just as bad, if not worse than abuse.”
